Lobov: Malignaggi didn’t land anything on McGregor

12 Aug, 2017

Lobov, McGregor’s long-time training partner and fellow UFC fighter, says Malignaggi wasn’t used to not being the centre of attention.

In boxing they very rarely train in camps. You very rarely see two champions train together. It’s always centered around one guy – he is the star and then everyone else is there to support him. Paulie just was not used to not being that star, he just wasn’t able to deal with it.

On the ‘pushdown’:

Sorry that there was no good pictures of Paulie, because he didn’t land anything in sparring! So, what can we do?

On McGregor being cheap with sparring partners:

They had their own house. A normal house, they had a car, they had their meals sorted. Three meals a day sorted from a restaurant. You know, not just where they had to cook themselves. No, they had restaurant meals delivered to them, every day, three times a day. And they were getting paid! I mean, what else can you ask for?
